[PSUBS-MAILIST] US Navy base, Guam

[Allen Wright via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Sean

Hawaii is, or was home to the Hawaii Undersea Research Lab.  They fielded
Pisces IV and V, both 2000m boats diving around the islands and the south
Pacific. I was DDO for HURL during the 90s. They stopped diving around 2016
I believe. I left in 99. We did operations out of Smug Harbor and Waimanolo
Pier. I think both subs are on the ground at Snug Harbor.
Might be fin to look them up.
